preferred method to get a complete AD structure into a hash

[Hirmke Michael]

Hi *,

is there a preferred method to get a complete AD (LDAP) structure into
a hash of hashes or some other more complex perl structure?
The result should look similar to this example:

$VAR1 = {
  'CN=Connections,CN=...' => { 
    'CN=UMS Connector,CN=Connections,CN=...' => {
      'adminDisplayName' => [
        'UMS Connector'
      ],
      'canPreserveDNs' => [
        'FALSE'
      ],
...

I hope you get the idea, which is to turn a flat LDAP structure into
a tree hierachy.

Is there perhaps even an existing routine I could use (i.e. something
like a tie)? I've already written some code for this job, but I wonder
if I could improve it.


TIA.

Bye.
Michael.
